Freedom's Fate 2023

Long life, lived in full, longing for death's impending embrace; my fate's final freedom wavers on two fronts, like old Simeon's. Departure's deep desire is delayed by a first great grandchild.

Some perhaps do not recognize the biblical account of Simeon in Luke 2. At any rate, I truly appreciate YOUR comment as well as the placement in your contest, Andrea. You make my new year happy.
